Max is a life enhancer for tech & entrepreneurship. Which seeks to blend both to build innovative products or services for the world that solves hard problems.
Yes, I join hackathons with goals to have fun, laughter and joy in meeting awesome ppl plus playing with new tech. The prize is secondary besides the food that is.
What I had found that I hate the most in attending hackathons, is to be approached by business people, who usually want you to build their idea for free during the hackathon.
The worst is people who are hosting hackathons, who keeps your idea and use it for themselves in their business.
Which is not a great motivation to attend those hackathons, if you come across a fine print that requires you to give up your idea to the hackathon hosters run like hell.
By day time I design and implement connected services and in my offtime I fiddle around with fun OSS things. Trying to help people play with nodeJS and get into programming.
Well I guess every time you go public with an idea (Twitter, GitHub,..) you are giving it up in the sense of getting potential competitors for a solution.
Do you mean business people that participate in the hackathon or that host one? I usually try to steer around those participants that call themselves "innovators" or "presenters"

I meant business ppl as ppl who call themselves hustlers, consultants, analyst or entrepreneurs.
Which is something along the line of not the common software developer titles.
